TOILET MIRROR Filed Oct 25, 1935 INVENTOR ADOLPH DORFMHN BY 610.2; Wi-l/b ATI'OR EYS Patented Jan. 12, 1937 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 1 Claim.

My present invention relates to toilet cases, and aims to devise an article of the general character specified which is simple in construction, easy and economical to fabricate and assemble, and admirably adapted to perform the functions which will become apparent as the detailed description thereof progresses.

In the accompanying specification I shall describe, and in the annexed drawing show, an illustrative embodiment of the toilet cases of the present invention. It is, however, to be clearly understood that changes in the details of construction may be made within the scope of the appended claim, and I do not wish to be limited to the exact structural details herein shown and described for purposes of illustration only.

In the drawing:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the aforesaid illustrative embodiment of the present invention shown in a closed position;

Fig. 2 is a similar view of the same shown in an open position ready for use; and

Fig. 3 is a partial side elevational, partial vertical sectional view showing the manner in which the mirror, constituting a part of the aforesaid illustrative embodiment of the present invention, is supported when the device is ready for use.

Referring now more in detail to the aforesaid illustrative embodiment of the present invention, and with particular reference to the drawing illustrating the same, the numeral 5 generally designates a rectangular box-like receptacle adapted to receive a drawer 6, provided on the front wall thereof with means I, such as a tassel, for opening and closing the same. The drawer may be used, as will be obvious to those skilled in the art to which the present invention relates, for housing cosmetics, etc.

Afiixed to the top surface of the case 5 is a sheet 8, the rear edge 9 of which is adapted to hold between it and the upper surface of the case 5 adjacent the rear edge of the latter, one leg of a hinge ID. The other leg of the hinge is affixed to the lower leg II of an oppositely disposed hinge I2, the upper leg I3 of which is adapted to support on the outer surface thereof, as by means of an adhesive, a mirror, I4. 5

Normally and when not in use, the mirror I I is folded down so as to lie between the upper surface of the case 5 and the inner surface of the hinge I2 as clearly shown in Fig. 1 of the drawing. When it is desired to use the same, the 10 mirror and the upper leg I3 of the hinge I2 are raised and the hinge I2 is bent so as to permit the lower edge of the mirror to rest against the upper surface of the case 5 as clearly shown in Figs. 2 and 3 of the drawing.

This completes the description of the construction and operation of the aforesaid illustrative embodiment of the present invention, and it will be seen from such description that such toilet cases are simple in construction, easy and eco- 20 nomical to fabricate and assemble and convenient to use.

Objects and advantages of the present invention other than those expressly referred to herein, will be obvious to those skilled in the art to 25 which the present invention relates.

What I claim as my invention is:

The combination with a base and mirror, of a support for the mirror, said support comprising a hinge adapted to dispose said mirror at an 30 angle to the top surface of the base when in use and retain and protect said mirror face downwardly upon the upper surface of the base when not in use, and including a leg secured to the upper surface of the base, another leg 35 secured to the upper portion of the back of the mirror, and an intermediate leg hingedly connecting said first-mentioned legs, said secondmentioned and intermediate legs together being co-extensive with the mirror.
